Seashells Scarborough

Location ,Secure Parking, Space,Good bathroom/shower.

No problems

After hours collection keys was good. Can't fault location with great access to beach shops, restaurants. Overall clean and peaceful. Good value for money.

Style of decor is dated and in need of updating. Plumbing needs redoing for bathroom tap and shower was difficult to get good control of temperature.

Plenty of room in the apartment. Separate room for the kids, free off street parking.

Nothing.

Location fantastic, secure building and parking were a bonus

Great apartment and fantastic area. Clean and comfortable with good facilities. Undercover parking and lift.

Location

Very little... The location was ideal, and the kitchen serviceable, but that was it.

Of all of the places I’ve stayed in via booking.com, this has been the most disappointing. The earlier reviews, which I should have looked at more carefully before booking this place, are correct – the apartments in the Collections units are pitiful. Forget about 3 ½ stars, and think more 1-star. In fairness, the location is fantastic, as it is across the street from the beach and one of Perth’s most amazing swimming pools. The restaurants and cafes are also nearby, as is a supermarket. This is what you will be paying for. The apartment itself slaps you in the face when you enter. The carpeting is old, and probably a long way from being clean. The sofas are wavy and in need of disposal…they are not functional in anyway. The bathrooms are also dated, and the shower persistently drips (close the door at night to avoid that annoying sound). The toilet (in a separate room) is passable, but it also feels very old. The kitchen is serviceable – this is probably the best part of the apartment. The beds and linen were clean, although the bed is quite soft…just another item on the long list of things that need updating and repairing. Perhaps the most frustrating part is that these issues are all mentioned in earlier reviews, and the management wrote back to explain the units are privately managed and they would pass along the feedback. This has obviously fallen on deaf ears. Personally, I would feel embarrassed if I was the owner to take money from anyone wanting to stay here. One other bit of advice if you decide to stay here, make sure to snap a few before and after photos to avoid being charged for anything…
